Telegraph: Bulgaria selling EU passports for €180,000

British daily The Telegraph reports that non-Europeans can buy EU passports in Bulgaria for €180,000 in a process which sees them visit the country for two days. The procedure - uncovered by investigative reporters working with a whistleblower - comes after Malta launched a scheme to sell passports for €650,000.

Britain wants to negotiate with Brussels the end date of the Brexit transition period - without saying what their preferred end date would be. The UK's position paper disagrees with the EU on other key points too.
